Numbers 27:20 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Set him before Eleazar. Eleazar had small part in this ceremony other than that of being a witness.

Before all the congregation. The ceremony was to be as public as possible, that there be no question or uncertainty as to Joshua’s authority.

Give him a charge. Literally, “command him” (see Deut. 31:7, 8, 14, 15, 23).
